Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting a market research exercise for a "Market Research Handyperson Service," aimed at providing essential household support to older people and adults with disabilities. This service will include maintenance and repair assistance, allowing vulnerable individuals to remain safely in their homes. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with feedback invited from the market by 6 April 2022. The service period is set to commence from 7 April 2022, following the research phase and identification of potential costs, with an emphasis on engaging the community's views.

This initiative presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute to a critical social service. Businesses specialising in social work services, maintenance, and support for elderly or disabled individuals would be well-positioned to engage with the council's request for insights. By participating in this consultation, companies can shape the service's development and potentially secure future contracts in the social services sector.
